Résumé

Pulsed-field energy (PFA) and very high-power short-duration radiofrequency (vHPSD-RF) are two novel ablation methods for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Both PFA and vHPSD-RF show promise for improving efficacy, safety, and reducing procedure durations. However, direct comparisons between these two techniques are scarce. Retrospective analysis of 82 patients with symptomatic AF. Of these, 52 patients received PFA and 30 received vHPSD-RF (90 W, 4 s) as index procedure. At the 6-month follow-up, AF recurrence occurred in 4 patients following PFA and 5 patients following vHPSD-RF (p-value = 0.138). Significant improvements in the EHRA and NYHA stages were evident in both PFA (p < 0.001 and p = 0.047, respectively) and vHPSD-RF groups (p = 0.007 and p = 0.012, respectively). The total procedure duration and the left atrial dwell time were significantly shorter in the PFA group (64 ± 19 min vs. 99 ± 32 min, p < 0.001 and 41 ± 12 min vs. 62 ± 29 min, p < 0.001, respectively). The fluoroscopy time and dose area product were significantly higher in PFA (14 ± 6 vs. 9 ± 5 min, p < 0.001 and 14 ± 9 vs. 11 ± 9 Gy cm Based on this retrospective single-center study, PFA and vHPSD-RF were associated with similar effectiveness and safety profiles. PFA was linked to shorter procedure times and higher radiation exposure compared to vHPSD-RF.
